~~Carousel Swap~~ Complete

[Kazzellin]

Ooh - animal based ones! Yess! I have a cut-out carousel to assemble, but I've never cut anything out of it - I like the images too much!

I would definitely like to be in the tier with clay work - especially since I recently found out a clay place less than 2 blocks from my work might carry apoxie sculpt in-store. I'm going to check them out after the holidays are over.

He is nice but a modern guy, not a oldie. 

If anyone needs inspiration for this swap I highly recommend taking a look in this book.

Great book, I have it and several others.  If anyone needs some help with refs, give me a shout I have literally tons of shots from all the carvers.

This is a fantastic site for more info as well - http://nationalcarousel.org/

and another - http://www.carousels.com/

oh and a place to get pole kits - http://glaserceramics.com/index.php?route=product/search&filter_name=carousel%20poles

I'd love to join this - I have feedback on the MLPTP if that is acceptable - haven't done any swaps for a while because of babies and stuff but I'm dying to do another

No worries and glad to help.  As to that fella he looks to be a Joe Lenard carving, he did some awesome huge horses for Euro Disney as well as others.  You can see some more of his work here - on his site http://www.joeleonard.com/

I think I'm going into gorgeous carving overload. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

[Colorscapesart]

My plan is to get sign ups going the 1st.  I may cap it at 15 people, as it seems like I end up having to make up ponies for swaps and this one is just too intense for much of that.

A no-sculpting option, did you say? Hmm... I might have to think about this.

[rayechu]

Okay I stayed up until 2 am last night looking at carousel horses. I am in. I have clay and such but I admit I've not actually done much sculpting, and never on a pony so it makes me a little nervous, but it sounds like a blast. Would I be allowed to be in the no sculpting required category and ATTEMPT sculpting. Or is it not allowed at all?

[Saja]

Ive spent hours also going thru pics, and saving faves for reference pics in my form! Roll on the next few days!
Also CSA can you please put a swap icon on the thread so its easier to find?

[Honeycomb]

I want to do this one so badly!

My daughter and I riding a rooster at the Trafford Centre last Christmas!

 

I wish I had the time to do this but I'm crossing my fingers I'll be able to join the Fairytale swap and I wouldn't have time for both! 

[Colorscapesart]

Saja, I will start a new Swap thread next week when I open sign ups   I will make sure to put an icon on that thread.
